About Deborah

Deborah Czernecky calls Canada her "Big Back Yard". She has had a life long passion for nature, especially it's spirituality and paint.

Deborah has traveled widely to explore various painting locations ranging from western to eastern Canada, the USA and abroad to Europe and Central America. The diverse scenery she has encountered from location to location has heightened her sense of landscape formation, colours and patterns. She combines elements of abstraction and traditional realism in her "en plein air" oil sketches and studio paintings. With respect to the spiritual aspect of her work, the simplicity of the landscape displays a great power. "It commands respect for nature, exposing how insignificant I am - a small integral part of the environment."
